I have never heard the crowd that silent here at Rupp Arena before. So it was a good feeling, but I was a little shocked at the same time.

I can't consider them a mid-major team. I don't look at them that way. They're a really good team.

Sometimes you have to be silent to be heard

I didn't know that it went in at first, but then the crowd went dead silent.

(The guards) make the other team take tough shots, make it hard on the 3-point line. They have just done a great job guarding (against 3-pointers).

It doesn't matter who scores on this team. Last year we had three guys [Matt Walsh, Anthony Roberson and David Lee] we relied on to score. But we don't have a go-to guy on this team. Anybody can have a big night.
